How the Zergs were Made

Chapter 64

"Increase the internal energy of the planet."

Hogu gave an answer with extremely brief information.

[What is the method? 】

"Using the impact of meteorites in outer space, the kinetic energy is directly converted into the internal energy of the planet, and the internal energy of the planet will be released in the form of geothermal heat."

"The rise of geothermal heat, that is to say, when the time comes, the surface environment will not need to rely on the heat energy provided by the hives, but can directly rely on your energy to maintain it."

"In this way, the plan to raise the temperature of the surface can come to an end."

The prospect that Huo Gu painted made Ming slightly moved, which Huo Gu could hear from the other party's tone.

However, the other party's psychological activities seem to not only contain heartbeat, but also mixed with other emotions.

[Sounds good, but you should be aware of the devastating impact caused by the meteorite directly hitting the surface, right? I'd be hard-pressed if this caused a local displacement of the planet's interior. 】

"Don't worry, I've considered it. As long as the size is right, it will only slightly affect the internal energy. The interior of the planet, especially the core, will only slightly vibrate at most."

"For meteorites that are too large, I will divide them into small pieces. I am really not good at time, but you don't have to worry about the distance scale."

Min thought about it, and then asked a new question from another angle.

[But Huogu, you should also consider the special bodies I created on the surface. The impact of meteorites will inevitably cause drastic changes in the surface climate and environment for a period of time. At that time, you and I are too busy to take care of ourselves. The species became extinct as a result. 】

"What you said is not unreasonable, so before the meteorite impact, I will collect the individuals of those microorganisms and temporarily seal them up. When everything is over, if there is a species that is extinct due to the meteorite impact, I will seal up the species. Instances re-released into the surface environment."

Huogu thought for a while, and continued to add a rhetorical question.

"In addition, I will specially follow the supervisors for a period of time. This period is the time for them to adapt to the new environment. During this period of time, I will protect them all the way. What do you think? Ming."

【Uh, okay, this is good...】

Facing Huo Gu's imperative attitude, Min only felt the pressure was enormous.

【However, you should also know that this may hurt yourself, after all, you are so old now...】

"Well, to be honest, beating around the bush is really not in my character."

"Ming, what are you hiding?"

【No, nothing is hidden...】

Unexpectedly, Huo Gu would suddenly say such a sentence, and the rhythm of the language was suddenly disrupted.

Ming has never communicated with intelligent creatures other than Huo Gu, which led to its jerky speech. Normal communication alone is very difficult, not to mention lying at a higher level than communication.

Ming's intentional concealment, Huo Gu saw it early in the morning, but it has been debating just now whether to expose it or not.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, or because he was worried about the influence of the chain of suspicion. After much thought, Hogu decided to ask.

"Ming, you are really not suitable for lying, don't you think so?"

【…】

The atmosphere between the two became very awkward, and this silence lasted for a while, and finally, it was Ming who couldn't bear it first, and spoke up on his own initiative.

【Actually...the thing is like this...】

What Ming said was very vague, even if he accepted it carefully, but Huo Gu still patiently listened to the other party's narration carefully, and kept silent until he finished listening.

"that's all?"

After hearing the reason why Ming wanted to hide, Huo Gu didn't know what emotion to use to vent the huge sense of gap in his heart.

It also thought it was some great reason, and for this reason, it was even mentally prepared to use far more organic materials than in the last battle, but it didn't expect this to be the reason.

From the moment the plan was proposed, the reason why Ming deliberately opposed the meteorite impact plan was simply because it hated being hit by meteorites.

Being hit by a meteorite will be very uncomfortable, but this kind of discomfort is not fatal, just like a human finger being pricked by a needle, or scalded by boiling water.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the kind of emotion that Ming has is like the mentality of a bear child who is afraid of going to the hospital for an injection.

What else can Hogu say about this kind of thing?

Nothing to say!

"I said you, didn't you say before that you have long been used to being hit by meteorites? Why are you so afraid now?"

[It’s not that I’m afraid, it’s that I hate it. I got used to it at the beginning because I had no choice. With such a big body, I couldn’t avoid those densely packed meteorites. Now I have finally cleaned up all the meteorites in orbit. I continue to hit meteorites in other orbits? Don't you have the slightest bit of compassion? 】

Are you worthy of being pitied? ——Ming's gesture made Huogu slander him for a while.

"You can't say that. Good medicine is good for the disease. Some things are annoying, but for you, there are only good things and no bad things. Why not do it if you bear it?"

[Can't bear it! I can't bear to say anything! Say no to meteorites! 】

Ming, who couldn't argue with Huo Gu, simply rolled over. This sudden action made Huo Gu a little dumbfounded. After all, in his impression, the other party should be regarded as a relatively rational existence.

"Okay, Ming, what do you think? Since you said no, there must be a plan that can replace my meteorite project, right?"

【...No, it’s just rejecting the meteorite anyway, how about Huo Gu, you can think of another way? 】

"...Are you trying to make fun of me? We are discussing things seriously now, and we don't have time to joke around. I'm also very busy here, okay?"

Thinking that he was still in a hurry to prepare for the slowdown of thinking before, Huo Gu felt a little angry, but in the end, the other party played with him like this.

As if smelling Huo Gu's latent anger, Ming's momentum, which was still rambunctious just now, suddenly weakened.

[...Okay, big... If it's a big deal, I'll bear with it for a while, you should move quickly, understand? 】

【Huh? what is that? ...]

Amid Huo Gu's confusion, Min was silent for a moment, then asked.

【...Huogu, did you leave something inexplicable to the surface ecosystem before you entered the state of slowing down your thinking? 】

"What do you want to throw at me?"

【Didn't you say that I'm not suitable for lying? Is it true what I'm saying, can't you hear? 】

"...It's impossible. I'm just setting up trusteeship. Even if there is a mistake, it will be the collapse of the cell cluster system at most, and then lead to the reappearance of the freezing event."

[Then this is very interesting. The matter of increasing the internal energy of the planet can be put aside for a while, and this matter should be investigated first. To be honest, I am a little worried. 】
